Log Message:
Linux support - move ramdisk to top of memory for compatibility
with recent kernels that use boot protocols >= 2.03 .  The previous
ramdisk location (at load-base, e.g. 0x800000) was vulnerable to
being overwritten by kernel initialization, especially for large kernels.
This helps when using recent Fedora kernels, for example.
